How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 21 ÷ 100 = 0.21
- Multiply: 0.21 × 97 = 20.37
- Check: Work backwards: 20.37 ÷ 97 × 100 = 21%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 21/100 = part/97, so part = 21 × 97 ÷ 100 = 20.37. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =21%*97. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means

Adding and taking away 21%
Increasing 97 by 21% gives 117.37 and decreasing it by 21% gives 76.63. These do not cancel out: raising 97 by 21% and then lowering the result by 21% ends at 92.7223, because the second 21% is taken of a bigger number.
